eOrganic Goals
To engage farmers, agricultural professionals and other members of
the organic agriculture community with timely and relevant science-,
experience-, and regulation-based information in a variety of media and
educational formats
To foster a national organic research and outreach community
eOrganic is the eXtension Resource Area for Organic Agriculture
You can find eOrganic’s resources for farmers, ranchers, agricultural
professionals, certifiers, researchers and educators seeking reliable
information on organic agriculture at eXtension (pronounced e-extension)
http://www.eXtension.org/organic_production.
eOrganic’s initial content focused on general organic agriculture, dairy
production, and vegetable production, but eOrganic members are now
developing content on other farming systems and topics. All content is
collaboratively authored and peer-reviewed by eOrganic’s community of
University researchers and Extension personnel, other agricultural
professionals, farmers, and certifiers with experience and expertise in
organic agriculture.
Resource Formats
Articles: eOrganic’s articles cover everything from the nuts and
bolts of organic production for beginners to the latest information and
technology for advanced producers http://extension.org/organic_production.
Videos: Because a moving picture is worth a thousand words, short
video segments highlighting organic practices are featured at eOrganic.
Producers and researchers demonstrate innovative cover cropping, reduced
tillage, cultivation, soil management, pest management and marketing
strategies. You can find eOrganic’s videos at eXtension
(http://extension.org/article/18726) and at eOrganic’s Youtube site
(http://www.youtube.com/eOrganic)
Webinars: Our webinar series allows farmers, agricultural
professionals and others to participate in live presentations by
researchers, educators and farmers. To ask a question, participants type
a question in the chat box. Find our archived webinars and upcoming
webinar information at http://extension.org/organic_production Ask-an-Expert: People need answers to questions that aren’t
currently answered in eOrganic’s content. To get an answer, eOrganic
supports eXtension’s Ask-an-Expert. Users submit questions at
eXtension.org and a community member or members with appropriate
expertise reply to the request via email. Find Ask-an-Expert by clicking
on the Question boxes in the upper right hand corner or at the bottom of
any of eOrganic’s article pages.
eOrganic members are now developing online short courses and
additional opportunities to connect with organic practitioners and
service providers.
eOrganic (at eOrganic.info) is a developing virtual organic agriculture
research/outreach community
You can participate in a national organic agriculture research/outreach
community at eOrganic.info, eOrganic’s virtual workspace and community
hub. eOrganic community members convene at eOrganic.info to network,
discuss, learn together, collaborate, manage research/outreach projects,
and publish peer-reviewed articles, FAQs, videos, and other content to
eXtension.org.
A central feature in eOrganic is the ability to join or create groups.
Each group receives tools for project development including a group
workspace where members can collaboratively edit documents and share
files and photos. Groups also get a forum for discussion, a tool to make
announcements, and a shared calendar. Groups can be subject-based for
creating eXtension materials, or project-based for research groups.
Project-based groups can use eOrganic for communication, collaborative
document writing (proposals, reports, etc.), and publishing to eXtension.
